    You can go in with concealer and only spot correct your blemishes. Apply the concealer with your ring finger—the warmth of your finger will help the concealer blend seamlessly into your skin, especially if you prepped your skin with moisturizer.

    What do I do if the Vaseline on my eyelashes trick causes my glasses to blur?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You could just use your fingers to lush the lashes up. Or, put a tiny bit of water, although that may blur your glasses, as well. If you need to have long-looking lashes, use an eyelash curler. If you don’t want to do that, then wear clear mascara, as you can’t see it, but it does that same job.

    How do I make the purple circles under my eyes go away?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    There are a few ways to get rid of dark circles under your eyes. The best way is to get more sleep. 7-9 hours is recommended for adults. The next way to get rid of dark circles is to use almond oil. Put some almond oil under your eyes, and in the morning wash it off. You can also use chamomile or green tea bags. First put them in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Then take the bag out and put it in the fridge to cool them down. Then you can put them under your eyes. Also, concealer covers up dark circles. You can buy it at most drugstores.

    Community Answer
    If you want to convince her to let you use face wash, ask her why and what her concerns are and find solutions to each of her concerns. The most common way to wash your face is to actually just use a cloth in hot (not boiling) water, wipe your face clean, (you can use baby shampoo or unscented natural soap) and then splash your face with cold water.
